2021 Audi A3 Sport 35 Tfsi Mhev S-A 1.5L Petrol · GV21 DPU

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is assessed as non-roadworthy due to a persistent and severe structural failure in the front suspension and drivetrain components, which creates a significant risk of structural collapse. The most recent MOT test on 2026-06-08 at 66,960 miles was PASSED, indicating that the mechanical integrity was maintained at the time of the test. However, this stability is undermined by a history of repeated failures, specifically the 2026-05-21 test on 66,954 miles , which failed the front and rear tyres and the rear shock absorbers. This indicates that the vehicle experienced a catastrophic suspension and drivetrain failure between 2026-05-21 and 2026-06-08 , a period of roughly two months where the vehicle was in a state of imminent structural risk. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle exhibits a rapid and uncharacteristic accumulation of miles , averaging 13,392 miles per year , which is significantly higher than the typical 5,000–10,000 miles per year for a 2021 model. This high mileage suggests that the owner engaged in extensive driving or inconsistent usage (e.g., frequent short trips), leading to accelerated wear on components such as the front tyres, shocks, and brakes. The data indicates that the vehicle has not maintained a low-maintenance pattern over the past two years , as evidenced by the 2025-05-20 test on 45,674 miles where the rear tyre was worn close to the legal limit, followed by a failed test on the same date on 45,674 miles . This pattern of rapid mileage accumulation combined with the history of failed tests suggests that the vehicle is likely in a state of unstable maintenance , where consumables are being replaced or worn out too quickly without proper inspection, creating a high risk of sudden failure. Consequently, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person for structural integrity and redundant components that are not covered by the MOT. The most critical findings are the exposed ply or cords in the front tyres, the cut in the rear tyres , and the worn inner edge of the front tyre , all of which indicate severe tread wear and potential structural compromise. Additionally, the light misting of oil in the rear shock absorbers and the cracking or perishing of the front and rear tyres (as seen in the 2026-05-21 test) suggest that the suspension and braking systems are compromised. The vehicle is not roadworthy because the 2026-05-21 test failure, which occurred on 66,954 miles , confirms that the vehicle is in a state of imminent structural risk and that the owner has failed to address the binding calipers and brake discs that have failed.
